描述 | .This is a book on the dissipative dynamics of ordered fluids, .with a particular focus on liquid crystals. It covers a whole .range of different theories, mainly concerned with nematic liquid .crystals in both their chiral and nonchiral variants. The authors .begin by giving a detailed account of the molecular origins of .orientational order in fluids. They then go on to develop a general .framework in which continuum theories for ordered fluids can be phrased. .Within this unified setting, they cover both well-established classical theories and new ones with aspects that are not yet completely settled. The book treats a wide range of hydrodynamic theories for liquid crystals, from the original 1960s works by Ericksen and Leslie to new, fast-developing ideas of liquid crystal science. The final chapter is devoted to nematoacoustics and its applications. Old experiments on the propagation of ultrasound waves in nematic liquid crystals are interpreted and explained .in the light of a new theory developed within the general theoretical infrastructure proposed in the body of the book. .This book is intended both for graduate students and professional .scholars in mathematics, ph |
